Replacing NFL Draft Picks in Columbia | College Basketball News

South Carolina’s defense last season quietly dazzled with elite pass coverage, ranking sixth in completion percentage and seventh in passing yards allowed in the SEC — while snagging the third-most interceptions per game. That success was anchored by All-SEC safety Jalon Kilgore and standout cornerback Brandon Cisse, both now gone to the NFL. But don’t panic: Gerald Kilgore, Jalon’s brother, is stepping into the safety role with two picks already under his belt, alongside Peyton Williams’ solid play. At cornerback, veterans Judge Collier and Vicari Swain return, bolstered by transfer Quay’sheed Scott and rising talents like Damarcus Leach and David Bucey — all under coach Torrian Gray’s proven developmental eye. The future looks promising despite the departures. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
